After winning the Orange Bowl on Thursday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/notre-dame-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Notre Dame</a> head coach Marcus Freeman swatted down a question from an ESPN reporter about how Freeman&#8217;s race factored into the achievement.
The Fighting Irish edged out Penn State in a 27-24 nail-biter of a victory. The team now advances to the College Football Playoff national championship game, which is scheduled for January 20.
&#8220;You are the first black head coach to go to a national championship game in college football,&#8221; ESPN reporter Molly McGrath said to Freeman following the win. &#8220;How much does this mean to you?&#8221;
&#8220;You know, I’ve said this before, I don&#8217;t ever want to take attention away from the team,&#8221; Freeman responded. &#8220;It is an honor, and I hope all coaches — minorities, black, Asian, white, it doesn&#8217;t matter — great people continue to get opportunities to lead young men like this.&#8221;
&#8220;This ain’t about me, this is about us,&#8221; the coach, who is half black and half Korean, added. &#8220;And we’re going to celebrate what we’ve done because it’s something special.&#8221;

Folks online were quick to react to Freeman&#8217;s response, and McGrath&#8217;s racial question.

NFL legend Brett Favre said McGrath&#8217;s question was &#8220;terrible,&#8221; but Freeman had a &#8220;great response.&#8221;
&#8220;Sports should bring people together not separate,&#8221; Favre added.

Earlier in the month, Freeman was asked a similar racial question from the press. He responded by saying he was &#8220;grateful&#8221; to be one of two black coaches in the playoffs.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a reminder that you are a representation for many others &#8212; and many of our players that look the same way I do. Your color shouldn&#8217;t matter, and the evidence of your work should, but it takes everybody.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
This is extremely bad journalism by Ross, completely taking out of content of what Marcus Freeman actually said, where he did in fact acknowledge the significance:

Freeman has also won over support for his decision to refocus the Notre Dame football program on God. A Christian his whole life, Freeman converted to Catholicism back in 2022 and he notably reinstated mandatory mass attendance for his players before games, a tradition that was dropped by the previous Fighting Irish coach.
“That’s important for me,&#8221; Freeman <a href="https://www.ncregister.com/interview/coach-marcus-freeman-talks-faith-fatherhood-and-notre-dame-football" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the National Catholic Register in 2022 about the school&#8217;s Christian context. &#8220;I want our guys to wonder about what it means to embrace Jesus Christ.”

U.S.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California</a> is looking to hire people who can reshape the state’s view of air quality through the lens of “racial equity.”
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has <a href="https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/REL-community-expert-solicitation?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=govdelivery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted a job application</a> for a “community expert” to “help shape the California Air Resources Board’s approach to advancing racial equity.”
The job posting says the agency “is developing a racial equity impact analysis tool, known as CARB’s Racial Equity Lens, to advance the agency’s <a href="https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/equity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vision for racial equity</a> — a future where all Californians equitably breathe healthy and clean air, benefit from actions to address climate change, and where race is no longer a predictor of life outcomes.”
CARB says it is seeking five “passionate community leaders and racial justice experts” to shape the Racial Equity Lens, which it calls “ground truthing.” To do this, these “experts” will need to “validate data and information by comparing it with direct, real-world observations or measurements from community members the tool is intended to serve.”
Anyone who gets the job will have to provide written feedback about the tool and attend four meetings between March and June. Total compensation for four months of work will be about $2,500 ($375 to $500 per meeting/task).
The jobs are available because CARB adopted a resolution in 2020 “establishing an explicit commitment to advance racial equity and social justice measures in all CARB actions.&#8221; California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) issued <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/9.13.22-EO-N-16-22-Equity.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an executive order</a> in September 2022 requiring “state entities to embed racial equity strategies in their work, in part by developing or updating strategic plans to promote equity and respond to identified disparities.”
The tool has been in development since 2021 and pilot exercises ran between 2022 and 2024, a spokesman for CARB told The Daily Wire.
The job posting is full of “equity” jargon.
The posting requests that applicants who “have lived, professional, and/or leadership experiences uncommon in government bodies and industry” apply for the job and list a range of previous jobs suitable for the position, including community organizers. People who have “personal or lived experience as proponents of racial equity and/or environmental justice” are encouraged to apply.
Applicants need to be California residents “and/or a member of a California Tribal Government.” They should be from specific, disadvantaged, and low-income communities such as those in San Francisco, San Diego, or Los Angeles.
A CARB spokesperson told The Daily Wire that applications are open to “all qualified applicants, regardless of race,” adding, “Advancing racial equity requires collaboration and requires responsibility across all racial and ethnic backgrounds.”

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/naacp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NAACP</a> attempted to use Marine veteran Daniel Penny&#8217;s acquittal to stir racial unrest on X, and immediately got hit with a community note laying out several key points explaining why race had absolutely no bearing on that case.
Penny was acquitted on Monday in the death of Jordan Neely, a black man who had a relatively impressive rap sheet before he began behaving erratically and threatening people on a New York City subway. Penny stepped in to stop him, briefly placing Neely in a choke hold — and while he died later, Neely was alive when police arrived on the scene.
The NAACP shared a CNN report on the acquittal and added the following commentary: &#8220;The acquittal of Daniel Penny in the death of Jordan Neely has effectively given license for vigilante justice to be waged on the Black community without consequence. It&#8217;s a painful reminder of the inequities in our justice system. Jordan deserved compassion. Instead, he was met with violence. We stand with his family in calling for accountability.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The response from Community Notes was as thorough as it was quick:
&#8220;Daniel Penny did not act alone in defending himself and others from Neely. A black man can be clearly seen assisting Penny to subdue Neely. A black woman testified in defense of Penny. There is no evidence that Penny was motivated by race,&#8221; the note read — and included video showing proof that at least one black man had aided Penny in restraining Neely.
&#8220;It should be noted that another black man attempted to restrain Jordan Neely,&#8221; the video was captioned. &#8220;This event was not racial nor was the verdict. If you wanted to show compassion to Mr. Neely it should&#8217;ve [come] during the 100+ prior times he was arrested. He was a danger to his community. Just a fact.&#8221;

Outgoing Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jamaal-bowman">Jamaal Bowman</a> (D-NY) shared his thoughts on casting the upcoming “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/star-wars">Star Wars</a>” trilogy, which was just announced by Lucasfilm.
“If the lead Jedi is not a Black man I ain’t messing with yall,” Bowman posted on X. 
“Yall not about to make 12 Star Wars and have all white leads for all 12. Y’all wilding with that and I hate to say that I would not watch and will spend the rest of my days denouncing this franchise that I have loved forever.

Bowman was replying to the announcement that Simon Kinberg would be writing and producing Episodes X, XI, and XII of the film series. There have been many “Star Wars” movies over the past four decades with varying degrees of success.
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/?_gl=1*jtghwp*_gcl_au*ODQ1NjYzNTg2LjE3Mjg5MDk3OTE.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczMDEyMDgwOS40OS4xLjE3MzAxMjA4MzkuMzAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+</a>
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/disney">Disney</a> acquired Lucasfilm in 2012 and immediately got to work on a new trilogy of Star Wars sequels to the existing six movies. Each of the three films had a different director attached, leading to fans saying they didn’t feel like a cohesive story was being told. 
Despite Bowman’s demand to have a black actor play the lead role, multiple outlets are reporting that Henry Cavill is in talks to star in the new trilogy, though no official casting decisions have been announced yet.
Several Disney films have featured different races and ethnicities in roles that originally had white leads. Some examples include the upcoming live-action “Snow White” starring Rachel Zegler and actress Halle Bailey playing Ariel in “The Little Mermaid” (2023).
Bowman is a leftist activist who was charged late last year with pulling a fire alarm in Congress. He’s also a member of what’s commonly referred to as “The Squad” — a group of far-left lawmakers that includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Cori Bush (D-MO), and others. He’s the first of The Squad to be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/far-left-democrat-jamaal-bowman-loses-primary-after-becoming-full-scale-anti-semite">ousted from Congress</a> after losing his primary race against moderate George Latimer in June.

Conservative media group PragerU released an <a href="https://x.com/prageru/status/1848922785172586969" target="_blank" rel="noopener">already-viral</a> short documentary on Wednesday digging into the repercussions of policies and attitudes promoted by far-Left activist group Black Lives Matter.
Notably, the film, &#8220;<a href="https://www.prageru.com/video/their-lives-mattered" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Their Lives Mattered: The Forgotten Victims of Crime in America</a>,&#8221; is presented by a former BLM activist, Xaviaer DuRousseau.
In &#8220;Their Lives Mattered,&#8221; DuRousseau speaks to the families of innocent children who were slain in inner cities, crime experts, and activists to understand the heartbreaking cost of BLM-supported policies.
&#8220;I was a Black Lives Matter activist,&#8221; DuRousseau says in the opening of the film, as shown in the teaser clip, below. &#8220;I was initially drawn to BLM because the media convinced me that thousands of black people were being shot and killed by racist white police officers.&#8221;
&#8220;The &#8216;fiery but mostly peaceful&#8217; protests made me rethink my perspective,&#8221; DuRousseau continues, referring to a CNN description of a destructive BLM protest. &#8220;It didn&#8217;t make sense to me why black rioters would loot and destroy their own communities in the name of racial justice, and why the media only cared about the loss of black life when the perpetrator was white.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1729077615157000&amp;usg=AOvVaw17Kprl74oE9DYOLREdiBPU">MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28</a>
Happy Gregg, a woman who lost her four-year-old son MJ to apparent gang violence in Chicago, told DuRousseau that not a single person has been prosecuted for the killing.
&#8220;When my son was murdered, I thought there would be outrage, and that justice was going to be swift,&#8221; Gregg said. &#8220;But I realized, there&#8217;s no outrage; I&#8217;m gonna have to be that outrage, I&#8217;m gonna have to be that voice for my baby.&#8221;
&#8220;No one even knows that a four-year-old was murdered, because there&#8217;s a lot of people murdered. Like, &#8216;get in line&#8217; is almost the tone of it, here,&#8221; the mother said. &#8220;Through that, I realized that a lot of children had been murdered. And I had no idea.&#8221;
The same weekend MJ was killed, seven other children were also killed in Chicago. There was no city-wide, let alone nationwide, protest, like the media helped drum up for the death of George Floyd.
DuRousseau also spoke to a man named Nathan Wallace, who lost his seven-year-old daughter Natalia to gang violence in Chicago. One man speaking alongside Wallace following the crime, posed, &#8220;If black lives don&#8217;t matter to us, how the hell is it supposed to matter to anybody else?&#8221;
Others in the documentary, including Manhattan Institute senior fellow Rafael Mangual and STAND founder Bishop E.W. Jackson, help to shed light on crime statistics often ignored in the media and the policies and activism behind increased crime.

There is a worldview that has now become prevalent in the United States and across the West. It is actually, truly evil. It has consequences for our politics and for the election of 2024.
There is a clip that is now going around the internet of Ta-Nehisi Coates, a racial conflagrationist author who believes truly terrible things. He&#8217;s been given pretty much every award that our self-defeating, white liberals have to offer.
Over the course of his career, he has received a wide variety of awards. He was given, for example, a MacArthur Fellowship from the MacArthur Foundation. He won a George Polk Award in 2014 for commentary. He was given a 2015 National Book Award for nonfiction. He is the toast of the town. Coates is treated as though he is a moral paragon, a sort of prophet of our times.
He is treated this way by the entire media, so much so that if he is asked a difficult question, all of CBS News melts down — which is what happened last week. A reporter asked him a tough question, and that reporter then took it directly in the teeth from the CBS News brass.
But what Coates believes is actually evil, and it is emblematic of a broader worldview that has now infused large swaths of the upper elite of the Democratic Party who believe exactly what Coates believes. Huge swaths of the Left in Europe believe what Coates believes. This is a person who&#8217;s considered perhaps the leading intellectual light of the Left in the United States. His new book, “The Message” is basically just a rabid screed about how evil Israel is. Prior to that, he used the same exact worldview to discuss how evil the United States is.
But the thing that is setting people&#8217;s hair on fire is what <a href="https://x.com/NickFondacaro/status/1844499893442007450?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1844499893442007450%7Ctwgr%5Eec21caa0f330e84180018db8dbabc0fc7dab5317%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fta-nehisi-coates-blasted-for-suggesting-he-wouldve-participated-in-october-7-attack" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he said in an interview</a> with former (alleged) comedian Trevor Noah. In it, he justifies the October 7 attacks saying that, were he Palestinian, he himself might have entered Israel and slaughtered men, women, children, and engaged in rape.
In the interview, he says:
<blockquote>I haven&#8217;t said this out loud, but I think about it a lot. Were I 20 years old, born into Gaza, which is a giant open-air jail, and what I mean by that is if my father is a fisherman and he goes too far out into the sea, he might be shot by somebody off, you know, a side of Israeli boats. If my mother picks the olive trees and she gets too close to the wall, she might be shot.
If my little sister has cancer and she needs treatment because they’re no, you know, facilities to do that in Gaza and I don&#8217;t get the right permits, she might die. And I grow up under that oppression and that poverty and the wall comes down, am I also strong enough or even constructed in such a way where I say, “This is too far.” I don’t know that I am.</blockquote>
First of all, put aside the lies, put aside the idea that Israel is somehow keeping cancer-ridden children in Gaza for no reason. There are several dozen hospitals in Gaza, most of them having been used as fronts by Hamas. Billions of dollars flowed into the Gaza Strip, and they are used entirely by Hamas in order to build up terror facilities.
But it is also true that many of the people who were slaughtered in the Gaza envelope by Hamas were people who made it their daily business to drive people with cancer from Gaza to Israeli hospitals. In fact, Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, was in jail and the Israelis treated him for brain cancer, healed him, and then released him.
When Coates talks about people being shot for picking olive trees, what he describes is not the case. If you get too close to the “No Man&#8217;s Land” in the border area and you refuse to obey orders, you are then taking the risk into your own hands.
All that aside, what he is saying is simply insane. He is justifying the massacres of October 7 because they are the “victims.”
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2065-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
So Coates spends a lot of time justifying the unjustifiable. To understand why this matters for America, it must be understood that this is not about Israel. For Coates, it&#8217;s about something far deeper. When he&#8217;s justifying terrorism, what he&#8217;s really doing is saying that if you are a member of a victim class — a class that he, as a self-appointed prophet, gets to define — you have the right, perhaps even the obligation, to engage in full-scale violence and terrorism.
What Coates says about Gazan civilians crossing the border and engaging in rape, murder, and the slaughter of children could very easily be applied to the slaughter of white Americans under his own worldview and rubric. He&#8217;s been very clear about this. He&#8217;s not exactly hiding the ball. And this is the amazing thing: There&#8217;s nothing new here.
Jean-Paul Sartre, who&#8217;s a ridiculous communist French philosopher who has been taken seriously by liberals for half a century, wrote the exact same thing in his introduction to a book called “The Wretched of the Earth” by Frantz Fanon. In it, he suggests that the West should essentially accept violence upon itself from Third World peoples in order to expiate its own sins of colonialism.
That is also what Coates believes. If you&#8217;re a member of the victim class, you should be able to do violence to people who are members of the “victimizer class.” And anybody who&#8217;s a member of a “victim class,” according to Coates, has no agency. Thus, Coates believes if you&#8217;re a member of a victimizer class, you deserve violence to be done to you and your children.
This is part of a broader worldview that applies to the United States. This worldview has been taken into the bones of the Left. This used to be a fringe, crazy-town worldview. Jean-Paul Sartre was not representative of the party of, say, Hubert Humphrey in the United States in 1968.
But Coates is a lauded, celebrated, champagne-drenched intellectual in the pages of The Atlantic. He is treated as though he has something important to say.
But what he is saying about Israel is really not about Israel at all. Right in the middle of the racial reckoning, Coates published “Between the World and Me,” because after all, Ferguson happened in 2014 and this is his worldview. His big example of experiencing racism in the United States is one time he was on an elevator and someone said something to his child. And this becomes his telescoping of all of America&#8217;s racist history into an incident on an elevator in New York.
The whole book is written as a letter to his child. He writes:
<blockquote>As we came off, you were moving at the dawdling speed of a small child. As we came off, you were moving at the dawdling speed of a small child. A white woman pushed you and said, “Come on.” Many things now happen at once. There is the reaction of any parent when a stranger lays a hand on the body of his or her child. And there was my own insecurity in my ability to protect your black body and more. There was my sense that this woman was pulling rank.
I know, for instance, that she would not have pushed a black child out on my part of Flatbush because she would be afraid there and would sense, if not know, that there would be a penalty for it for such an action. But I was not out on my part of Flatbush and that was not in West Baltimore, and I was far from the Mecca.
I forgot all of that. I was only aware that someone had invoked their right over the body of my son. I turned and spoke to this woman and my words were hot with all of the moment and all of my history. </blockquote>
This is the incident that is the supposed “inciting incident” for his realization about race in America. He&#8217;s on an elevator with his child and a white woman is irritated because the kid isn&#8217;t moving fast enough — in New York, a place of the rude. He immediately telescopes all of America&#8217;s terrible, evil, racial history into this incident. It never occurs to him that maybe the lady&#8217;s just rude. It never occurs to him that maybe she&#8217;s in a hurry because she has a reason to be in a hurry.
No, it&#8217;s “all of America is racist and evil,” and you can find that out by looking into the eyes of another person and never asking them a question. Because Coates, an incredibly rich and celebrated author, is a victim, and that white lady in the elevator was a victimizer — a racial victimizer, not just a victimizer of the child by being rude, in a class sense. She&#8217;s a member of a victimizer class.
So what does that mean for Coates? It means, for example, that he doesn&#8217;t care about September 11. He actually writes this in his book. It is beyond comprehension that this country would grant the worldview of people like Coates any time of day at all, let alone make this person a celebrated author.
He&#8217;s an immoral imbecile, though that&#8217;s too kind because imbecility suggests that stupidity lies at the root of this. It&#8217;s not imbecility. It is malign evil.
In his book “Between the World and Me,” Coates writes about September 11, and the firefighters and police officers who were turned to ash:
<blockquote>They were not human to me, black, white or whatever. They were menaces of nature. They were the fire, the comet, the storm, which could, with no justification, shatter my body.</blockquote>
Now, throughout his writing he uses the term “body” because he believes, I assume, that if he writes “body” as opposed to “me,” it makes it have more import, and becomes all about the physical being of black people or something. In reality, it&#8217;s just a cheap way of trying to buy literary cred.
In an interview with <a href="https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2015/07/ta-nehisi-coates-between-the-world-and-me.html">New York Magazine</a> that same year, the death of one particular black person at the hands of police so alienated Coates that when he watched 9/11, “slightly stoned, on the roof of his Brooklyn building,” he recalls that he felt nothing at all. “You must always remember,” Coates writes to Samori, “that the sociology, the history, the economics, the graphs, the charts, the regressions all land, with great violence, upon the body.” This is the setting up of a victim class that is then justified in doing anything he feels nothing about — September 11 or otherwise.
Let me just express, if someone feels nothing about September 11, they should not be in the United States. It is that simple. They do not belong in the West. If you feel nothing about September 11 — the greatest act of evil of my lifetime — you don&#8217;t deserve to be here. You don&#8217;t deserve to be living off the fruits of the civilization that you are currently leeching off of, which is what Coates is doing. He is a scavenger and a leech on the body of Western Civilization.

Washington state now requires physicians to take health equity classes on a regular basis or lose their licenses.
Doctors, nurses, dentists, veterinarians, and <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=18" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite%3D18&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1727315846806000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2Uts3k0Zr6kDUqTrU522U4">other</a> health professionals are required to complete health equity &#8220;continuing education&#8221; under a new state law that went into effect in December.
Proponents of health equity claim that health differences between demographic groups are the result of systemic oppression and discrimination.
The health equity classes <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=43.70.613" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://app.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite%3D246-12-830&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1727315846806000&amp;usg=AOvVaw32qxq4RTvn-tag8G5kRfKA">teach</a> doctors about &#8220;structural factors&#8221; like &#8220;bias, racism, and poverty&#8221; that manifest as &#8220;health inequities.&#8221; The classes must also involve &#8220;self-reflection&#8221; on how a doctor&#8217;s &#8220;social position can influence their relationship with patients.&#8221;
Depending on the class, doctors will also take &#8220;implicit bias training&#8221; to reduce their bias during diagnosis, learn how to ensure &#8220;equity and antiracism&#8221; in caring for their patients, and learn &#8220;structural humility.&#8221; Doctors will also learn how to recognize &#8220;patterns of health care disparities&#8221; and how &#8220;communication styles differ across cultures,&#8221; as well as take &#8220;cultural safety training.&#8221;
&#8220;These skills enable a health care professional to care effectively for patients from diverse cultures, groups, and communities, varying in race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexuality, religion, age, ability, socioeconomic status, and other categories of identity,&#8221; the new law <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=43.70.613" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a>.
Healthcare workers must take at least two hours of health equity training every four years, although some Washington medical boards require more hours, the Washington Department of Health confirmed in an email.
One of the available health equity classes is <a href="https://doh.wa.gov/public-health-provider-resources/healthcare-professions-and-facilities/health-equity-continuing-education" target="_blank" rel="noopener">titled</a> &#8220;Racism, Bias, and Other Determinants of Health,&#8221; and another is &#8220;Improving Cultural Competency for Behavioral Health Professionals.&#8221;
Washington&#8217;s health department is clear that &#8220;equity and equality are not the same.&#8221;
&#8220;Equality gives everyone the same resources while equity gives people the resources they need,&#8221; the health department&#8217;s website <a href="https://doh.wa.gov/public-health-provider-resources/healthcare-professions-and-facilities/health-equity-continuing-education" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a>. &#8220;With equity, everyone has the same opportunities as others. Research shows that inequities are part of the health care system and have always existed.&#8221;

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) has become ubiquitous in many workplaces, including the corporate world, education, and government. In recent years, health equity has popped up more in state and hospital medical policies.
One Boston hospital <a href="https://www.massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsroom/press-releases/updating-system-policies-perinatal-testing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cited</a> &#8220;health equity&#8221; in its decision earlier this year to stop filing child abuse reports for pregnant mothers using drugs because &#8220;Black pregnant people are more likely to be drug tested.&#8221;
Back in 2022, at least three states, New York, Minnesota, and Utah, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/coronavirus/food-and-drug-administration-drives-racial-rationing-of-covid-drugs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prioritized</a> minorities for often scarce COVID remedies like monoclonal antibodies and oral antivirals.
Affirmative action, another DEI objective, was struck down by the Supreme Court last year, but some are still <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-mayo-clinic-lawyer-helps-medical-professionals-push-dei-despite-supreme-court-ruling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushing</a> for doctors to be recruited based on their race.

Princeton University and Yale University both saw their percentages of Asian American freshman dip this fall despite the Supreme Court eliminating <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/affirmative-action" target="_blank" rel="noopener">affirmative action</a> in college admissions last year.
At Princeton, the percentage of Asian American freshmen dropped two percentage points from 26% last year to 24% this year.
At Yale, the decline was bigger at six percentage points, from 30% last year to 24% this year.
At both Ive Leagues, the share of black freshmen remained the same &#8212; 9% at Princeton and 14% at Yale.
Last year in June, the Supreme Court ruled against affirmative action in college admissions, declaring race-based admissions at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina unconstitutional and in violation of the Civil Rights Act.
Students for Fair Admissions, the group that sued over affirmative action, had pointed to the high test scores of Asian American and white applicants who were rejected.
The high court&#8217;s decision has had a profound effect on the admissions processes at universities across the country.

Buy here for a theater near you.</a>
At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, (MIT) the percentage of black students plummeted in the wake of the court&#8217;s decision. The incoming freshman class this fall is only 5% black, down from an average of 13% in recent years, MIT <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mits-share-of-black-students-plummets-after-affirmative-action-struck-down" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> last month.
Amherst College, a historic liberal arts in Massachusetts, also <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-04/yale-university-sees-drop-in-share-of-asian-american-freshmen?utm_source=twitter&amp;cmpid=socialflow-twitter-businessweek&amp;utm_content=businessweek&amp;utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that its percentage of black freshman students fell to 9% from 19% this year. Hispanic students also declined to 10% from 14% last year. Meanwhile, the percentage of white and Asian American students increased slightly.
At the same time, universities have scrambled to find other ways to diversify their student bodies.
Yale and Princeton both pointed to more students receiving financial aid. At Yale, more than 58% of students are now getting need-based financial aid.
“I am especially excited that the Class of 2028 includes the greatest representation of first-generation and low-income students on record, and that Yale College now enrolls more veterans than it has in many decades,” <a href="https://news.yale.edu/2024/09/04/new-undergraduates-begin-their-yale-college-journey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Jeremiah Quinlan, Yale’s dean of undergraduate admissions and financial aid.
“At Princeton we make big bets on human talent from all sectors of society,” Princeton Provost Jennifer Rexford <a href="https://www.princeton.edu/news/2024/03/29/princeton-trustees-set-2024-25-budget-increasing-spending-undergraduate-financial#:~:text=Between%20fiscal%20years%202022%20and,numbers%20of%20students%20receiving%20support." target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
Some schools moved away from considering standardized test scores as the argument that standardized testing harms minority students picked up steam. One Ivy League, Columbia University, permanently scrapped its standardized test requirement.
Some schools are also <a href="https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-affirmative-action-college-admissions-1d37af28939a533551cff45fa577ceb0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">considering</a> requiring more essays for admissions to get a better idea of a student’s background, while others plan to recruit students from minority areas or admit more students transferring from community colleges.
A majority of Americans, 62%, oppose race-based college admissions, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/most-americans-think-college-admissions-should-not-consider-race-reutersipsos-2023-02-15/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to a Reuters poll last year.

Minnesota, under Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, prioritized non-white residents for COVID-19 treatments during the pandemic.
In Minnesota, an “ethical framework” prioritized black 18-year-olds over elderly whites, even though the elderly were at a much higher risk of severe complications due to COVID, the Free Beacon <a href="https://freebeacon.com/coronavirus/food-and-drug-administration-drives-racial-rationing-of-covid-drugs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> in January 2022.
The racial discrimination <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/multiple-states-prioritizing-covid-care-based-on-race-thanks-to-the-fda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stemmed from</a> the FDA’s guidance when authorizing monoclonal antibodies and oral antivirals for emergency use. The FDA only authorized these treatments for “high risk” patients, and included race as a factor determining someone to be “high risk.”
As the Free Beacon noted in 2022:
<blockquote>The <a href="https://www.fda.gov/media/149534/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FDA “fact sheet” for Sotrovimab</a>, the only monoclonal antibody effective against the Omicron variant, states that “race or ethnicity” can “place individual patients at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19.” The <a href="https://www.fda.gov/media/155050/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fact sheet for Paxlovid</a>, Pfizer’s new antiviral pill, uses the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s definition of “high risk,” which states that “systemic health and social inequities” have put minorities “at increased risk of getting sick and dying from COVID-19.”</blockquote>
Even though the guidance is nonbinding, several states used it to justify race-based triage to the detriment of those at a higher risk of dying from COVID-19.
Minnesota, for example, explicitly cited the FDA as the reason it prioritized lower-risk minorities over higher-risk white people.
“The FDA has acknowledged that in addition to certain underlying health conditions, race and ethnicity ‘may also place individual patients at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19,’” Minnesota’s racial triage plan states. “FDA’s acknowledgment means that race and ethnicity alone, apart from other underlying health conditions, may be considered in determining eligibility for [monoclonal antibodies].”
The FDA said race may be considered, but it never said race should be the priority when determining who should get treatment.
Unsurprisingly, even though men were approximately 50% more likely to die from COVID than women – according to <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2021/10/19/at-least-65000-more-men-than-women-have-died-from-covid-19-in-the-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research</a> from the Brookings Institution – sex was not included as a risk factor in the FDA guidance.
As the Free Beacon noted, the triage in Minnesota gave non-white patients two points when determining risk, whereas comorbidities like “hypertension in a patient 55 years and older” were only worth one point.
The policy followed others in Minnesota, which are getting renewed attention after Vice President Kamala Harris chose Walz as her running mate. Another policy Walz implemented was a COVID hotline that allowed Minnesotans <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/flashback-walz-implemented-covid-hotline-to-snitch-on-neighbors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to snitch on their neighbors</a> for violating lockdown orders.
The hotline generated thousands of reports – against people playing basketball, walking their dogs, or attending church, local outlet Alpha News <a href="https://alphanews.org/one-minnesota-thousands-reported-on-neighbors-using-tattle-tale-hotline-during-pandemic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> in 2022. Walz’s administration continued to monitor the hotline until November 2020, though it remained operational until June 2022.

MSNBC contributor Molly Jong-Fast claimed during a Tuesday appearance that vice presidential nominee JD Vance (R-OH) only wanted to see &#8220;white kids&#8221; in the United States — but she neglected to mention the fact that Vance is the father of three biracial children.
Jong-Fast joined MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire — who made no move to qualify her statement — in responding to Vance&#8217;s now-viral comments about Americans who were &#8220;childless&#8221; by choice.

&#8220;The stats are there,&#8221; Lemire began. &#8220;More and more Americans are choosing not to have kids, which again emphasizes why JD Vance&#8217;s comments about childless Americans, &#8216;childless cat ladies,&#8217; could be so politically damaging.&#8221;
&#8220;Well, so what&#8217;s interesting is this is this naturalism that comes from an authoritarian playbook, right?&#8221; Jong-Fast asserted. &#8220;That there need to be more white children, right? That&#8217;s the idea, that there&#8217;s — you know — this is about great replacement theory racism, right? This is what this is, so don&#8217;t misunderstand it for him wanting more children. He wants a certain kind of, you know, racist thing.&#8221;
What neither Jong-Fast nor Lemire acknowledged was the fact that JD Vance and his wife Usha Vance — the American-born daughter of Indian immigrants — are parents to three biracial children.
&#8220;His children are biracial. This is gross,&#8221; conservative pundit Mary Katharine Ham posted in response.

African Americans are critical of the medical community&#8217;s efforts to embrace “gender neutral” terms that promote transgender ideology, according to a new poll.
The results from the poll, which was conducted by Ingram Market Research on behalf of <a href="https://donoharmmedicine.org/">Do No Harm</a>, comes as a growing number of doctors embrace new language to reflect the core tenets of left-wing gender theory.
The poll found that black adults were overwhelmingly critical of the term “birthing person,” which has recently been adopted by practitioners who believe men can become women, and thus have children. Nearly 93 percent of black adults said that they prefer the term “mother” to “birthing person.” Among women, 91 percent said that they prefer the term mother, while 94.9 percent of men agreed.
Do No Harm senior fellow Benita Cotton-Orr commented on the polling results, telling The Daily Wire that prioritizing competence is the “only way to restore the trust” in the medical field. 
&#8220;Our polling proves that the ideologues pushing nonsensical identity politics in medicine are out of touch with the very people they claim to speak for. Black Americans are rejecting the push to redefine race and gender in medicine in furtherance of a progressive political agenda,” Cotton-Orr explained. “The data proves that, like patients of all backgrounds, minority patients want doctors that are highly-qualified and don&#8217;t indulge in identity politics. Prioritizing medical excellence for patients&#8217; individual needs is the only way to restore the trust that has been eroded.&#8221;
A full 63.5 percent of respondents said that they would be “much less likely” or “somewhat less likely” to trust medical professionals who replace the word “mother” with “birthing person” or “people with uteruses.”
Black adults were widely opposed to the term “chestfeeding&#8221; as an alternative to “breastfeeding.” Black adults preferred the term “breastfeeding” by a margin of 93.6 percent to 6.4 percent.
The poll of 500 black adults found that medical professionals do themselves no favors among the demographic when they introduce themselves with their pronouns.
“Some medical professionals have started introducing themselves with their pronouns, such as ‘she/her,’ ‘they/them,’ or ‘ze/zir,’ and having their pronouns listed on their nametags,” the poll explains. “Would you be more or less comfortable having medical professionals as your health care providers if they introduced themselves with their pronouns?”
Nearly half of respondents, 48.2 percent, say that the practice would make them “much less” or “somewhat less” comfortable, while another 33.7 percent say it would have no effect. Only 18.1 percent say that they would be “much more” or “somewhat more” comfortable.
The poll also found that black adults care about medical professionals&#8217; skill more than their race. Just over 88 percent of respondents say that it is more important for a medical professional to be “highly competent.”

If you like your doctors and nurses to show a &#8220;sense of urgency&#8221; when caring for you and your loved ones, you might just be part of &#8220;white supremacy culture,&#8221; according to one prominent medical school.
Duke University School of Medicine <a href="https://medschool.duke.edu/news/school-launches-plan-dismantle-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> a <a href="https://medschool.duke.edu/sites/default/files/2021-08/dismantling_racism_and_advancing_equity_diversity_and_inclusion_ADA.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">strategic plan</a> in recent years claiming that having a &#8220;sense of urgency&#8221; is part of &#8220;white supremacy culture&#8221; and suggesting that forcing this expectation on people of color is &#8220;discriminatory.&#8221;

&#8220;In the workplace, white supremacy culture explicitly and implicitly privileges whiteness and discriminates against non-Western and non-white professionalism standards related to dress code, speech, work style, and timeliness,&#8221; the document reads.
&#8220;Some identifiable characteristics of this culture includes perfectionism, belief that there’s only one right way, power hoarding, individualism, sense of urgency and defensiveness,&#8221; the document adds.
The 2021 guide, which Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/duke-medical-school-claims-timeliness-individualism-part-white-supremacy-culture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on Tuesday, defines white supremacy culture as the &#8220;idea (ideology) that White people and the ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and actions of white people are superior to People of Color and their ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and actions.&#8221;
Titled &#8220;Dismantling Racism And Advancing Equity, Diversity And Inclusion in the School of Medicine,&#8221; the document says the goal of the plan is to &#8220;catalyze anti-racist practice through education of our current and future workforce.&#8221;
The dean of Duke Medical School, Dr. Mary Klotman, praised the plan at the time of its unveiling.
&#8220;This plan reflects the School of Medicine’s goals, priorities and strategies relative to the path we have been on, the path we are currently on, and the path forward,&#8221; Klotman wrote in a message accompanying the document.
&#8220;We are proud of our longstanding commitment to diversity and excellence and yet we acknowledge that there is much more work to do,&#8221; she said.
The document also included a definition of &#8220;white fragility,&#8221; which it says refers to &#8220;feelings of discomfort a white person experiences when they witness or engage in discussions around racial inequality and injustice.&#8221;
The idea that timeliness is a value of &#8220;white&#8221; culture has been around for at least the past several years.
&#8220;In a world driven by capitalism, professionalism &#8230; centers productivity over people, values time commitments, accomplishes tasks in a linear fashion, and often favors individuals who are white and Western,&#8221; <a href="https://ssir.org/articles/entry/the_bias_of_professionalism_standards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reads</a> a 2019 article in the Stanford Social Innovation Review. &#8220;In contrast, polychronic cultures, while still able to get tasks completed, prioritize socialization and familial connections over economic labor.&#8221;
Other professional expectations that have been criticized as too &#8220;white&#8221; are <a href="https://ssir.org/articles/entry/the_bias_of_professionalism_standards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speaking</a> &#8220;white standard English&#8221; and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/13/sports/serena-williams-discrimination-black-women.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">keeping</a> anger in check at work.
Meanwhile, equity advocates <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/universities-scrap-sat-scramble-to-stay-diverse-ahead-of-affirmative-action-ruling">have</a> <a href="https://www.kevinmd.com/2019/09/its-time-to-abolish-the-mcat.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushed</a> for medical schools to stop requiring the MCAT in recent years, alarming critics who worry that schools could end up graduating less qualified doctors, putting patients at risk.
